Hello all: Actually, mplayer can control the pcm volume for your computer directly from its interface. The "/" key lowers the volume and the "*" raises the volume. I am not sure if it has mute. This volume is the same as the pcm volume in your mixer application. I use it all the time. Actually, I just tested it and it does have mute also. The key for mute is "m". You can press "m" once to mute the sound and press it again to unmute it. So, you can do both, use the volume control or use mplayer's interface. Hope this helps. David B.
